Yeah, I noticed the last time I saw them in October Hooky's vocal has improved slightly, but not great...there again hearing Barney in a live setting isn't particularly great either.  I think Hooky should let Dave Potts (Pottsy) the guitarist sing more of the songs, they have him singing on Perfect Kiss...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tT_XcA3wbLU and he sounds incredibly like Barney.
  
When Hooky and Pottsy had their band Monaco there was always the criticism that Pottsy sounded like Barney therefore the shackles of NO similarity were there they just found hard to shake.

    Makes me glad I saw P Hooke in Boston and skipped New Order (who I haven't seen since 84 or so). The Light put on a very strong 2 HR 45 min set (despite Hookeys iffy vocal control).

Well, I managed to know about 10 of that selection 😳 and can also tell you that the number 20 Calvin Harris is not a cover and has some truly terrible lyrics.  Anyone know if Benny is still drumming for Calvin?
     
As for New Orders album, personally I find it shocking, truly shocking (well perhaps marginally better than Waiting For The Sirens Call)...there again I have found NO to be a mixed bag since 'Technique'.  Seeing live footage of them from Maida Vale for 6 Music as well as on youtube they have somehow become dad rock and the worst tribute act to New Order.   I was embarrassed to hear one of my favourite songs 'Lonesome Tonight' bastardised in their live set.
     
Peter Hook & The Light do a far better job with old New Order songs in my opinion, having dual bass helps emulate the high and low bass patterns on a good number of songs..

        I am delighted to say that I had a flick through and could not tell you how any of them go, with the exception of number 20 IF it's a cover.
